<b>due Monday February 1 at 5:00 p.m. </b><o:p></o:p></p>

*<b>New this year</b>*: In an effort to make the program more equitable, this year we will give preference to first time applicants, organizations that have not received an LSTA Competitive grant in the past 10 years, and projects targeting communities that
are being under- and unserved.<br>
